About

I write about fun things I’ve done with or for my kids and fun places we've been. This often comes out in the form of tutorials with lots of photos and sometimes video. I also share great products and places that I’ve discovered that I think you would love too (sometimes with giveaways for you! :)

This blog started way back in 2008 as a photography blog. You'll continue to see posts where I'll share my latest photography endeavors, but they’re less frequent because of some health issues I've been dealing with.

A lot of you have your own blogs, with your own great ideas of fun things you do with or for your kids, and I want to see them! So I started “Sharing Time” (a monthly link party that goes up the first week of each month, where you can share links to your great ideas, and check out all the ideas that other readers are sharing).

We are Canadian, currently living in the USA, in Utah.

Some Posts To Check Out

My Top Posts on this blog are a pretty good representation of what you'll find here:

5. I danced ballet until I had knee surgery in Grade 9 (still love to watch it)

6. I got a job working for a pickle factory when I was 20. I quit after one day.

7. My favourite number is 7

8. I really like roller coasters (but was too scared to try them until I was in the second half of my teens)

9. I live in Canada and I hate being cold. Figure that out.

10. One time while shopping in Walmart with my mom, I tried to make her laugh by running with the (empty) cart and then stepping up onto it, and coasting on it with one foot up in the air behind me (the cart tipped over and I did a face plant… and she laughed.. until she cried ;).

11. I love to bake, but I don’t like cooking (I want to like it and I'm trying to like it, but I'm not there yet!)

12. I’m competitive

13. My favourite book is Anne of Green Gables

14. I’ve never been stung by a bee (and consequently get irrationally nervous whenever one comes near me)

15. I was 21 when I got married

16. Both of my babies were over 9lbs when they were born

17. If I could have a super power, I would have camera eyes. (The ability to blink and take a picture without the need to grab a camera)

18. I blush easily

19. I was good at high jump and sprinting in elementary school. I was on the track & field team in high school too, but that’s when I stopped winning.

I can't believe this is the first time I've read this! Such a fun read. My favourite number is 7, and I hate being cold and live in Canada, among other similarities. Some of these things I never knew! Thanks for sharing. Love ya!
